During the ongoing trial, Trump's attorney Todd Blanche is aggressively cross-examining Michael Cohen to undermine his credibility. Blanche's strategy is focused on highlighting Cohen's lack of honesty, ethics, and integrity to sway the jury. By portraying Cohen as a dishonest and untrustworthy individual, Blanche aims to shift the focus away from his client's alleged wrongdoings.
Blanche is particularly emphasizing Cohen's time in home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic, where Cohen was allowed limited outdoor activities in Manhattan while being monitored by authorities. Blanche is reminding the court that Cohen is a convicted felon who has a history of lying to federal courts and Congress.
